Hey! Yakiniku @ Bugis Junction - First Yakiniku To Bring In Marumi Pork, Prized For Its Odorless Sweet Fat

HeyYakiniku21

I am back at Hey! Yakiniku at Bugis Junction since my last visit back in August 2021 when it first open. I am back again this time because they have introduced a number of new items to their menu.

One of the new items on its menu is the Marumi Pork ($16.90 Ala Carte | $18.90 Set). I was told that they are the first Yakiniku restaurant to bring in the marumi pork for Yakiniku. Marumi pigs are raised in Kawanami-cho, Miyazaki is prized for its “odorless sweet fat”. This is my first time trying them and it really did not have the strong porky taste.

Australian Wagyu MB 4/5

Gyu Tan

Besides the pork, we also ordered a variety of beef cuts to complement the meal. We started with Australian Wagyu MB 4/5 ($19.90 for 120g | $29.90 for 180g) and Gyu Tan ($8.90 for 50g | $12.90 for 100g) which I enjoyed in my previous visit. The wagyu stood out for its beautiful marbling while the gyu tan has a delightful crunchy bite when it is cooked.

Harami

Prime Karubi

If you prefer a more textural bite, then you can go for either the Harami ($7.90 for 50g | $11.90 for 100g) or Premium Karubi ($8.90 for 50g | $12.90 for 100g). For all the different beef cut, you can add $4.90 to make it a set which comes with a bow of rice, soup and a choice of kimchi, salad or spicy beansprout.

Hey! Black Pepper Donburi

Hey! Black Pepper Donburi ($15.90) is a new item that has been launched recently. It comes with cooked sliced beef with black pepper atop a pile of beansprouts and fluffy rice. Perfect for those that is looking for a quick meal or something substantial for the big eaters.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
